[GENERAL INFORMATION]
Name:
    Namielle

Nicknames:
    Nami

Breed:
    Ragdoll

Attached to:
    N/A

Alignment:
    Order


*************

[PERSONALITY TRAITS]
Fav. Food:
    Tuna and Mayonnaise Sandwiches - She appreciates that this might be comical due to the fact she has whiskers, but there's nothing more awesome than fresh bread, butter and a glorious mix of tuna and mayonnaise.

Hated Food:
    Celery - How is this even a food? It's really just water with a crunchy green outer shell. Why would you even do that to yourself!


*************

Hobbies:
    Food Blogging - She might not be able to make the food herself on a regular basis due to otherwise obvious complications, but that doesn't mean she can't enjoy the end results. Nami is a foodie at heart and she loves to explore different cuisine whenever she's given the opportunity. These adventures are then written about and her experiences are shared with the world... or at least she likes to imply it's the world.

    She's made a 'decent' name for herself on the blogging circuit, but she hasn't quite reached the lofty heights that strike fear into aspiring chefs.

    Please note that she doesn't use a human companion to write these blogs for her, she's more than capable of writing these on her own using existing technology on the planet. Dictophones and software used by those with dyslexia etc that actively jot down everything that is being said are her typical go-tos. Her preference, more often than not, is the software as she doesn't have to hold anything while she's using it.

    Online Video Games - She might not be able to socialise outside with other people, but when it comes to the world online no one needs to know who or what she is. Depending on the game she can be quite competitive, while in others she picks her battles and favours more complimentary roles for her 'abilities'. For example, in online fighting games there's nothing wrong with button mashing, for MOBAs you only need to be able to hit six keys effectively and therefore her paws are perfectly acceptable.

    ...But for MMOs? Well, you would be wise to keep that purse of yours close as the little munchkin will rule the markets. She might not be able to raid with you, but she can certainly take your money!

    Begrudging Exercise - She might love her food but it's important that she keeps in shape, lest she become one of those shut-ins memes. While she doesn't enjoy the activity, she does make sure to go outside so that she can run off all the calories. Just like all those co-workers you meet, in work they'll be more than happy to let you know about this hobby even though it's not personally the most 'fun' for them.

    She sees the benefit of it and enjoys the end results, even if she's a fussy creature about it at the time.


*************

Virtues:
    Openminded - Namielle is prepared to look at, consider and try most things at least once. Whether this is food, a challenge, or even to simply consider an opinion, she's more than happy to take these in to account before forming an opinion. Alternatively, if she has an opinion already and you can provide her with a reason to reconsider it, then she's willing to do so. When it comes to most things in this world she's well aware that she doesn't know everything and it's always nice to learn something new.

    Persistent - Life can be challenging sometimes and Namielle and her own kind have probably been through more than enough struggles of their own. If she were to roll over and surrender then she would never get anything done. Consequently, even if something seems unlikely to succeed or has a lower probability of succeeding, she will keep trying while the odds are still within her (or her allies) favour. Note that she's not persistent to the point of suicide, should something be improbable to the point of being almost impossible then she will advise retreat... but you can at least rely on her to keep pushing if someone really needs a friend and they may be proving stubborn because that's simply who or what they are.


*************

Flaws:
    Mercurial - While Namielle may seem pleasant in a normal setting, the truth is that she can actually be changeable. Put her in the right situation and she'll cease being pleasant and move in to something much more short tempered and terse. This is a trait that is generally readable to anyone who happens to be familiar with her though and most will learn (rather quickly at that), to avoid her when she's up to certain things. For example, it would be unwise to disturb her if she's in the middle of a losing streak in a game, or if her blog is receiving troll posts, as her ire will quickly be redistributed to the innocent sould who happened to be the source of the disturbance... However, should you find her in much more favourable circumstances, she's perfectly fine.

    As a general rule of thumb she is a friendly person, it tends to be her hobbies and past times that bring out the 'worst' in her from this point of view.

    Competitive - When it comes to her free time Namielle has the capacity to put work away for the day and enjoy her hobbies. However what she has never been able to do, and refuses to be told otherwise, is to remember that said hobbies are just that and they're meant to be fun. She'll become lost in the moment when she's playing any type of game, with her desire to win becoming more extreme depending on the type of game she might be playing. If she's playing boardgames then you may find she'll be sly to ensure that she wins, but if it's a video game... then you may find that she's a bit more extreme and free with her words.

    It's hard to get her to calm down and walk away from these, particularly if she's on a losing streak and needs to turn it around. Even if you succeed in getting her to step away, she'll probably be in a foul mood for some time afterwards.


*************

Challenge:
    "You've been outplayed!"


*************

[PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : CAT FORM]
Face/Ears:
    A broader face with seemingly puffy checks due to fur tufts. Ears are standard with no defining features, as per references. Ref 1 | Ref 2

Body:
    Healthy, adult female. No immediate health issues and within a healthy weight. Ragdolls naturally look a touch more 'chubby' due to their fur length depending on the angle they're looked at but she certainly wouldn't be fat!

Fur:
    Fur Length - Medium to long, similar to a standard Ragdoll as per reference
    Fur Colour - A very pale beige with a darker brown-ish colour on the face and paws as per reference
    Additional Features - Particularly fluffy tail!
    Forehead Star - Pale, platinum-gold as per below.

Eyes:
    Brown

Star Color:
    Platinum-Gold Star (White Moon Affiliation)

Accessories:
    A small Egyptian necklace similar to this style. At most, it only resembles an ornate collar that an owner would spoil their bet with.


*************

[PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : HUMAN FORM]
Eyes:
    Deep-set, Brown eyes.

Hair:
  • Bob Hairstyle, similar to this, but artist freedom highly encouraged for this one. She could use some additional va-va-voom or a flourish, I'm just not sure how to achieve that at the moment.
  • Colour mix should be of a lighter brown style, a play on the colour of her cat form's face/paws where possible.
  • Any accessories should be simple and should follow a similar pattern/design to that in the reference (e.g beads, braids or other simplistic or loose accessories), though artistic freedom is encouraged!
  • May partially obscure her star due to fringe but try to make this visible to a degree.

Face:
    Heart-shaped face with soft features, reasonably symmetrical with no stand-out markings or traits.

Star Color:
    Platinum-Gold Star (White Moon Affiliation)

Clothes:
  • Simple beige bustier/bra of cloth. It's not designed to enhance anything, merely act as a cloth.
  • Bared mid-riff.
  • Long, matching beige skirt. Flowing or floaty where possible to imply that it's very light weight. Should hide her feet if possible.
  • Artist free to CC accessories around waist and wrists.
  • Necklace should be the largest and most dominant piece of jewellery.
  • Please use this reference for inspiration.

Hey Epi! Let's see what we've got here for Namielle.

So, in general, things look good. I get a good picture of the overall character and her theme. There's some small things that give me pause, though. It's mostly the hobbies. While you've explained how she does online gaming as a cat, that same explanation sort of gets in the way of the food blogging hobby (more than six keys are needed for blogging). Is there a human she knows who does the typing for her (which has its own issues in the form of having to talk/reveal she's no ordinary cat)? The hobby can stick around just so long as you can figure out some kind of workaround for it (Order Mauvian HQ computers, maybe?). The begrudging exercise hobby makes me wonder a bit because it strikes me less as a "hobby" and more just "something she does." I might be nitpicking, but I'd suggest going for an activity she actively and willingly partakes in and enjoys.

Personality strikes me as good! The traits mesh well together. Her design as a Mauvian seems suitable as well.

So, basically, the only wobbly bit is the hobbies, but I feel you could easily create workarounds for the issues present. Quote me if you have questions or are ready for the next step!

Respectfully...You can use a dictophone and equivalent software to type, this is used by people with issues with their hands or those who suffer from dsylexia that enables them to type like a normal person would (As someone who does have hands who seize up and don't function as well as others do on occasions this is something I'm acutely familiar with! ). You don't need a human to produce your work for you. I'll clarify that for you, but just because someone doesn't have all the necessary digits on their hands doesn't necessarily mean they can't use a keyboard.

I personally think you're being a little picky about the jogging hobby, it is a hobby and/or past time as it's something she does regularly and actively participates in. You don't have to enjoy a hobby to do it, I've known plenty of people who force themselves to go to the gym and then introduce themselves (particularly in work) with the factoid that they regularly work out. For that reason I'm going to keep this one in as it is a hobby and in reality it's very common for this particular trait to crop up regularly in someone's personal interests even if they don't necessarily like it.

EDIT 1: I did add in a small line to the exercise one to add a tiny bit of clarity to it.

EDIT 2: Dulled down the language because I was a bit sharp this morning, I'm really not a morning person. >__>;

You make good points. Apologies for forgetting about text to speech software and other workarounds (since you've mentioned them, that assuages my concerns). Apologies also for using an excessively stringent definition of hobby.

I think, with those little patches, you should be good to go. Here's a stamp!
